Answer: Hindu and Jain

Option c is the correct answer. The Khajuraho group of temples were built together but were dedicated to two religions, Hinduism and Jainism, suggesting a tradition of acceptance and respect for diverse religious views among Hindus and Jains in the region. The temples reflect the different sects and beliefs of these two religions, such as Shaivism, Vaishnavism, and Digambara. The temples are also known for their exquisite sculptures that depict various aspects of human life, including erotic themes. The Khajuraho temples are a remarkable example of the Nagara style of architecture, which is characterized by a sanctum, a shikhara, a mandapa, and an ambulatory passage.
